Background: Health education is the most essential activity in health promotion; several methods are used for health promotion. This study aimed to compare the effect of face-to-face and self-education methods on promotion of awareness of jaundice among pregnant women. Methods: In this field trial study, 100 pregnant women were selected from Isfahan City health centers, Iran, during 2015-16 and randomly divided in to two groups educated about jaundice using face-to-face and self-education methods, respectively. Awareness level was evaluated before and after intervention and compared between the two groups. Findings: The mean changes of awareness level in the self-education and face-to-face groups were 5.06 ± 1.00 and 10.10 ± 1.40, respectively; change in the scale of awareness of jaundice in face-to-face group was statistically higher (P = 0.008). Conclusion: Applying face to face method is more effective for promotion of health awareness. So, using this method is recommended for improvement of awareness level among pregnant women.
